Johnny Football Suspended......
« on: August 28, 2013, 03:22:50 PM »
.....for the first half of the season opener vs. Rice, according to a text alert from ESPN.  Apparently this was an agreement between aTm and the NCAA.  I don't see the point in it.  He denied that he took money, and apparently the NCAA doesn't have proof otherwise.  If they did, certainly there would be other consequences.  It almost seems as if the NCAA "convinced" aTm to do it so the NCAA would look like they're doing something, or look like they're being tough on something.

It's stupid, either way.

Why should he be suspended at all? Was there any proof? so this means I can video one of our players signing something and then say I paid him $101 dollars for it and he will get suspended?

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

WTF.

Dumb on so many levels my head is going to explode.

Punish someone who's not guilty, just to appease the masses, but don't really punish him at all.

Nice.

I don't even see why he should be suspended period.  If the NCAA had proof, things would be worse.  Manziel has denied he took any money.  I guess maybe the school brought it up because they're tired of him bringing negative attention to the team?

Well the operative part of your post is "one of our players".

It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

I guess this is for the same reason Chizik suspended Cam for like 30 seconds on a non-game day?

As I recall that is part of some compliance protocol when an allegation is made.

Either way, dumb.

Actually, IIRC, a hundred or less, they can simply pay back, with no penalty to eligibility. 

Agree though.  If they can't prove he got paid, why punish him at all.

Auburn declared Cam ineligible so they could have the NCAA reinstate him.  That covers the school's ass, and is fairly common whether a player actually did something or not.  Alot of times you don't even know that it happened, because there is no requirement to suspend the player or anything.  Simply a procedural thing that gives an all clear on that player on that particular issue.  The only way the NCAA can go back on that is if they find there was some sort of deceit or fraud, coverup, etc.

As I understand it, even if they can prove that Uncle Nate took money from the autograph brokers--Tamu can be toast, for an itsy bitsy while probably. This is a result of the new definition of an agent post Cecil/Cam and Kenny Rogers. So, A&M is making a huge bet if he plays.

Meanwhile a female soccer player at the University of Nevada was discovered to have played a pickup game while doing mission work last year in Malawi. Her remaining eligibility is hereby revoked and the university soccer program is fined $350,000 for noncompliance. The coach has been fired and has a show cause clause for seven years so no other school can go after such a rampant cheater.

Did they suspend him for breaking NCAA rules or just for being a dumbass?

I'm okay with this if they're suspending him for being a dumbass.

Apparently aTm offered this to the NCAA and the NCAA said, yep, that'll do. Case closed.  :taunt:

Good thing he didn't get a DUI.  He'd have had to sit out a whole game. 



Unless things aren't going well at the half.

It isn't illegal for him to sign it even if he knows the guy will sell it, though.  If he didn't receive any money, then all is well.  I think maybe the suspension is because the school is tired of him bringing negative attention.  I could certainly understand that.
